France's first specialist body composition measuring service for professionals and individuals.
 What is body composition?
The human body is made up of different constituents. Measuring body weight does not take into account these differences.
For example, two people who weigh the same often have a very different body-fat/muscle-mass distribution.
As a result, their wellbeing and athletic performance will be different.
Why assess body composition?
Four examples of the implications of monitoring BioparHom indexes for athletic performance:
What information is included in my BioparHom body composition assessment?
A BioparHom assessment takes 30 minutes. It comprises the following phases:
 
*The first appointment may take longer as it involves a full investigation of your requirements. |
The French skiers in the Men's World Cup Technical Skiing group have asked BioparHom to provide their physiological monitoring using bioimpedance.
. Phase 1
. |
Noting your requirements
. |
A specialist qualified in physical preparation and nutrition will work with you to set your objectives.
. Phase 2
. |
Bioimpedance measurement
. |
We use a device called the Z-Métrix, developed in French laboratories.
The advantages of this professional equipment are:
reliable, accurate measurements, whole-body measurements and segment measurements (legs, arms, trunk) that are scientifically approved.
. Phase 3
. |
Interpretation
. |
A doctor who is a bioimpedance engineering specialist interprets the measurement and explains what your values mean. Depending on your objectives, BioparHom holds reference information for amateur and professional athletes in a number of sports and also for non-athletes aged 7 to 70.
. Phase 4
. |
Associated advice
. |
Even after the interpretation, the assessment is only of use if a professional tells you what steps are required in terms of nutrition and/or physical activity. This will enable you to improve your wellbeing or athletic performance. This advice is included in your assessment.
If you are already receiving help from a professional with aspects of your diet or physical preparation
(dietician, nutritionist, sports coach or trainer), phase 4 (associated advice) will be conducted together with that person.
Body composition assessments are only effective if the subjects are regularly monitored. BioparHom offers special rates for 5 measurements or more per year..
